Rubber Futures Trading Basics
Consumers and producers of rubber can manage rubber price risk by purchasing and selling rubber futures. Rubber producers can employ a short hedge to lock in a selling price for the rubber they produce while businesses that require rubber can utilize a long hedge to secure a purchase price for the commodity they need.
Rubber futures are also traded by speculators who assume the price risk that hedgers try to avoid in return for a chance to profit from favorable rubber price movement. Speculators buy rubber futures when they believe that rubber prices will go up. Conversely, they will sell rubber futures when they think that rubber prices will fall.
